Fully revised and updated in the light of the 2004 Presidential election, The Accidental American is an important and timely book, written with wit, verve and an acute eye for the contradictions and intrigues behind the Prime Minister’s American adventures.

Wesley Wehr
The Accidental Collector: Art, Fossils &, Friendships

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionReaders who fell in love with The Eighth Lively Art will delight in the stories and profiles that the painter and paleontologist Wesley Wehr has collected in this follow-up to his earlier memoir. Here, Wehr`s subjects--the painters, poets, and thinkers whose names constitute a pantheon of Pacific Northwest artistic and intellectual life in the 1950s and 1960s--reveal a shared distaste for theorizing about their work, which for them tended to be rather haphazardly integrated into the broader career of living by one`s wits. And, more than this trait, all of them in their time shared a moment and a special place in the lens of Wehr`s perception, inspiring a question that their lives answered, in different ways, by example: `How does a young person learn what it is to become an artist in the world?` The profiles collected in this volume are a mosaic of the voices, episodes, images, and locales that have remained vivid in Wehr`s memory. There are the growing pains of a… [detailed...]

Jonathan A. Knee
The Accidental Investment Banker: Inside the Decade that Transformed Wall Street

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Jonathan A. Knee had a ringside seat during the go-go, boom-and-bust decade and into the 21st century, at the two most prestigious investment banks on Wall Street--Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. In this candid and irreverent insider`s account of an industry in free fall, Knee captures an exhilarating era of fabulous deal-making in a free-wheeling Internet economy--and the catastrophe that followed when the bubble burst. Populated with power players, back stabbers, celebrity bankers, and godzillionaires, here is a vivid account of the dramatic upheaval that took place in investment banking. Indeed, Knee entered an industry that was typified by the motto `first-class business in a first-class way` and saw it transformed in a decade to a free-for-all typified by the acronym IBG, YBG (`I`ll be gone, you`ll be gone`). Increasingly mercenary bankers signed off on weak deals, knowing they would leave them in the rear-view mirror. Once, investment bankers prospered largely… [detailed...]

The Acrobatics of CHANGE: Concepts, Techniques, Strategies and Execution (Response Books)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Managing change is a paradox-it is the interplay of two opposite forces i.e, `desire for stability` and `desire for change`. Techniques must first be used to address the forces of `desire for stability` and then to enhance the forces of `desire for change`. This interplay has an analogy with cosmic forces-expansive forces and gravitational forces which ensure an equilibrium among bodies in the cosmos. The Acrobatics of CHANGE: Concepts, Techniques, Strategies and Execution, analyses three `change stories`-two in Public Sector organizations viz., HMT and BEML, and one in the private sector-The Nagarjuna Group. The authors strongly believe that `change` is not a `dance`, as dance is rhythmic with predetermined steps whlile managing change is a trapeze which needs passion, courage, enthusiasm, and, above all, perfect timing.
